Bring this focus to a round
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.
The goal to keep in mind
Shade the grid so every row and column matches its run-length clues. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
How a round unfolds
- Cycle a square between filled, crossed and blank.
- Keep separate runs apart by at least one blank.
- Combine row and column deductions.
- Check puzzle verifies the finished grid.
Controls
Click or tap squares or graph edges. Number boards include a digit pad. Undo reverses the previous change; Check puzzle validates the solution. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
One way to understand the rules
Clue 2 1 requires a run of two, a blank separator, and a run of one. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
Pay attention to this rule
Do not merge two separate runs. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
